What’s new in ERPNext
Managing your stock and items just got easier with the latest updates to ERPNext. If you've ever struggled to keep track of stock across multiple warehouses, this one's for you: ERPNext now displays the available quantity by company directly in sales transactions. No more confusion—just clear, real-time visibility of your stock when you need it most.
Available Quantity By Company
Item attributes can quickly get out of hand, cluttering your system. That’s why ERPNext now allows you to disable unused item attributes, keeping your data clean, organized, and easy to navigate.
And for those who deal with rejected materials, ERPNext’s new inventory dimension for rejected materials ensures you can track every item that doesn’t meet the mark, keeping your supply chain fully transparent.

Lastly, if localization is important to you, consider joining the community effort to strengthen regional compliance in ERPNext. Your contributions help improve the system and make it more accessible for everyone.
Framework features
We have some Framework fixes you’ll appreciate:
Need to reset multiple selections? A new “Clear All” button for multi-select fields has you covered.
Languages like Arabic weren’t displaying perfectly in some areas, so we’ve fixed right-to-left (RTL) compatibility issues for a smoother experience.
Got stuck with unclear permission errors? Now they’re clearer, helping you troubleshoot with ease.
Scheduled newsletters weren’t always going out as planned, but that’s fixed too—now your messages will reach your audience without a hitch.
Attachments added to a newsletter will be public by default now saving you the hassle of doing so manually
Gameplan now has dark mode
Good news for night owls and dark mode enthusiasts! Gameplan now supports dark mode. Whether you’re tackling ideas late at night or just prefer the sleek, modern look, this update lets you plan and communicate in a way that’s easier on the eyes.

Learning gets smarter
Instructors can now add SCORM packages as chapters to the course. When students complete these chapters, their progress is automatically tracked—no manual updates needed. Their achievements are seamlessly recorded for a smoother learning experience.
Instructors can also create guided Learning Paths through Programs, ensuring students follow a structured journey. Courses must be completed in the defined order, and instructors can easily monitor overall progress. It’s all about keeping students on track and making learning more effective.

Switch to Frappe Cloud
Still self-hosting your Frappe apps? Now might be the perfect time to switch to Frappe Cloud. We’re giving users $10 in free credits if they make the move today. Frappe Cloud keeps things simple—no more server maintenance or sleepless nights over downtime. Want proof? Check out how other users are benefiting, and see how it stacks up against self-hosting.
Bootcamps and Meetups

We also hosted a sales bootcamp in Mumbai exclusively for our partners. It was a dynamic two-day event packed with hands-on learning and healthy competition. Day 1 focused on an intensive training session covering the entire sales process, from positioning Frappe and ERPNext to closing deals. Day 2 raised the stakes with a mock demo competition, where our partners showcased their skills. Congratulations to Ambibuzz and Quantbit for delivering the best demos and earning the Best Demo awards!
Looking ahead, Frappe School is conducting an in-person Frappe Framework Bootcamp in Dubai from December 23-25. Don’t miss this opportunity to dive deeper into the Framework. Register here.
